RNA Isolation – Abalone Dg Project

Isolated RNA using the MoBio RNA PowerSoil Kit according to protocol from the following samples:

06:6-45

06:6-49

06:6-50

06:6-51

06:6-52

08:4-6

08:4-9

08:4-10

Results: RNA looks fabulous (as always from the PowerSoil kit). Will DNase treat the samples tomorrow.

RNA Isolation – Abalone Dg Project samples

Isolated RNA from Abalone Dg samples (see below) using MoBio RNA PowerSoil Kit according to protocol. RNA was stored @ -80C.

Results: RNA quality looks great, as usual. Sample 06:6-44 has a very low yield, but was to be expected due to very small amount of starting tissue.

RNA Isolation – Abalone digestive gland samples

Total RNA was isolated from the following abalone digestive gland samples using the RNA Powersoil Kit, according to their protocol:

08:3-17

08:3-18

08:4-2

08:4-3

08:4-4

08:4-5

08:4-7

08:4-8

08:4-11

Notes: 08:4-5 took hours to wash the column. 08:4-4 ended up with a dark RNA pellet and the reuspended RNA is discolored (brown-ish).

Results: All the RNA looks good except for 08:4-4, but that isn’t surprising (see note above). Samples were stored @ -80C in the boxes from which the tissue samples came.

08:3-6

08:3-7

08:3-8

08:3-9

08:3-14

08:3-15

08:3-16

08:3-24

Results: RNA looks great. Stored @ -80C in box where samples came from.

RNA Isolation – Abalone digestive gland samples

Total RNA was isolated from the following abalone digestive gland samples using the RNA Powersoil Kit, according to their protocol:

08:3-11

08:3-12

08:3-13

08:3-19

08:3-20

08:3-21

08:3-22

08:3-23

Notes: After phase separation, 3-11 and 3-12 had milky/cloudy aqueous phases. These two samples were subjected to another 10min spin @ 2500g, but this spin made no difference in their appearance. Other samples were clear or slightly translucent at worst.

Results: RNA looks great in nearly all of the samples. RNA has been stored @ -80C in the same box from where the tissue was taken.
